Retail Spotlight: Debbie at Different Strokes Gallery in Olds Alberta

Jan 22, 2016

Today I met a great friend, Debbie Ohlhausen, proprietor of Different Strokes Gallery in Olds, Alberta. This lovely town is on the Cowboy Trail and makes a great road-trip stop. As I pulled up to the Different Strokes Gallery, I smiled. The lovely purple motif and beautiful sign reminded me of the friendly and effervescent Debbie herself.

The gallery and Debbie are is so welcoming. Beautiful art decorates the walls, and the store is full of unique gifts and local handmade goods. I was eyeing up some amazing repurposed leather cuffs from a local artist (next birthday present!), as well as some oil canvases. What I loved about Debbie's Gallery is the diversity and variety of the goods she carries. While there are lots of options, the store is not cluttered, and I was really able to appreciate each and every display. Debbie has been selling Yoshi-Bella for about a year, and we have developed a wonderful partnership. I smiled as I said goodbye to Debbie, so glad to have met her in Edmonton last year. Please stop by and say hello to Debbie if you are in the Olds area, and pick up a few new medallions for your affordable and fun Yoshi-Bella jewelry.
